Abstract

The use of air-supported forming as a method for controlling forming costs for concrete shells is under study at the Institut für Massivbau of Stuttgart University in Germany. The possible shapes for shells have gone past conventional geometries and experimental and mathematical methods are being used to design shell shapes. Studies of the technical feasibility of these shapes include the control of formwork deformations and their effect on the setting concrete.
